GOV @ HDP
This year's Help Desk Professionals Conference program will feature speakers from a variety of Government agencies.
If you're attending, please join me for the session on winning practices in Government and receive a preview copy
of my new white paper. The full program and details are linked from

THANKS MARK & BILL!
This month's issue is a couple of weeks late due to massive relocations currently underway at our facilities. We may
be a little late in September for the same reason. Very special thanks to Bill Haden and Mark Roper in the IT&S; group
at the NEXRAD Radar Operations Center for helping to get your eletter out in the midst of chaos!
LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT NETWORKING
If you’re a Government employee or Government contract employee, CLICK HERE
and respond to the following:
- At what level of Government do you work (Federal, state, or local)?
- Do you want to network with others in customer support at the same level of Government?
Results will be shared in next month's eletter.
